I think there is a case for both airworthy and static displays Evan
I discussed this with a guy down at the FAAM in Yeovile last week. The train of thought behind some or their static aircraft is too conserve and not restore at what point does an airworthy plane cease to be a genuine WW2 combat aircraft if nearly all of it has been replaced with modern remanurfactured componants in order to make or keep it flyable a bit like replacing most of a Ming vase to enable it to remain a vase thats not too say that having flying aircraft does not bring home the grace,courage and excitement of a by gone erra as I say I believe there is a strong reason to have both.
